Features

High picture quality and high performance

The new 2/3-type Progressive IT CCD for 2,200,000 pixels conforms to driving formats up to 1080/59.94P, achieving high sensitivity and low smear. In addition, the 14-bit A/D converter and a unique signal-processing LSI provide picture quality of optimal grade.

Multiple formats

The HDC1500 covers ten video formats, HDC1550 covers eight video formats, and HDC1400 and HDC1450 covers two video formats. With the HDC1500, signal output of 1080/50P and 59.94P from the camera head is also possible via the Dual Link interface.

Newly designed integrated unit with low center of gravity

The basic design has been reworked. The stylish appearance with low-slung design improves operability as a portable camera and, when used in combination with the HDLA1500-series Large Lens Adaptor, it permits the viewfinder to be mounted at a low position, making the viewfinder position closer to the optical axis of the lens for highly efficient operations.

Swing handle

The swinging structure of the handle enables the large viewfinder mounted on the HDLA1500-series Large Lens Adaptor to be shifted forward, giving it the same total longitudinal size as a standard studio-use camera, for operability equivalent to that of a standard studio-use camera.

Position-adjustable shoulder pad

The position of the shoulder pad can be adjusted for stable shooting according to the build of the camera operator, the type of lens in use, or the shooting style.

A low-repulsion shoulder pad (position fixed) is avaliable as an option (Part No.: A-8286-346-A).

Function-assignable switches

The camera has a switch to which various functions can be assigned on the side panel. You can activate your desired function, such as electronic color-temperature conversion, instantly when shooting by assigning it to the switch in advance. Switches on the handle are also available as function assignable switches.

Memory Stick ^1) operation

The camera is equipped with a Memory Stick port, which enables setup data storage and software upgrading using Memory Sticks.

Various color-reproduction functions

Selection of the gamma table

Multiple gamma tables are provided, enabling you to use multiple formats and perform flexible image creation.

Multimatrix color correction

In addition the standard 6-axis matrix function, the camera has a multimatrix function that permits you to adjust the hue and chroma for color components in 16-axis directions independently. This is quite useful in color matching among multiple cameras.

Knee saturation

Change of hue and decrease in chroma that occur in highlighted areas can be compensated.

This enables reproduction of natural skin tones under strong lighting.

Low key saturation

Hue and saturation in low-key zones can be compensated. Thus, compensation for color reproduction in all zones is enabled in combination with matrix color compensation and knee saturation functions.

Versatile detail control functions

Skin-tone detail function

This function allows control (emphasis or suppression) of the detail level for just a certain hue or chroma area in the image, by creating a detail gate signal from color components of your specified hue, such as skin tones. The detail levels of three hues can be adjusted independently at the same time.

Detail boost-frequency control

The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 to 30 MHz. This allows the detail thickness to be set appropriately for the subject, thus enabling more subtle image expression.

H/V ratio control

The ratio between horizontal and vertical detail can be adjusted.

White/black limiter

The white and black details can be limited independently.

Easy menu-based setting

Selections and settings for viewfinder display items, safety-zone marker ^2) or center marker, ^3) screen size marker, etc. can be made quickly and easily, using setup menus displayed on the viewfinder screen or an external monitor.

2) Safety zone marker:
A box-shaped marker displayed on the viewfinder screen which indicates 80%, 90%, 92.5%, or 95% of the total screen area
3) Center marker:
A cross-shaped marker which indicates the center of the viewfinder screen

Wide variety of viewfinder display options

Along with items such as operation messages, a zebra pattern, ^4) a safety-zone marker, and a center marker, camera settings may also be displayed on the viewfinder screen. Furthermore, there are other indicators arranged above and below the viewfinder, such as a tally lamp, battery warning indicator, and an indicator to tell you that one or more settings are other than standard. This makes it simple to check the status of the camera.

4) Zebra pattern:

A stripe pattern displayed on the viewfinder screen which indicates the portions where the video level is above about 70% or 100%. Used to check the video level of the subject.

Optical digital transmission (HDC1500/1400)

The camera uses electro-optical coding cable for 1.5-gigabit digital optical transmission between the camera and a Camera Control Unit.

High-resolution 2-type monochrome and 3.5-type color multiformat viewfinders (optional)

The HDVF-20A, a multiformat 2-type monochrome CRT viewfinder, and the HDVF-C35W, a multiformat 3.5-type color LCD viewfinder, are available as options to cover various applications.

Prevention of electrical shock

When the power connection is unsafe, the power supply from the connected Camera Control Unit will be shut off.

Maximum cable run with Triax cable

The maximum Triax cable length between the HDC1550/1450 and the HDFX100 or between the HDFX100 and the HDTX100 depends on the type of cable.

For details, refer to the Operation Manual of the HDFX100/HDTX100.

Notes

• The viewfinders function as monochrome viewfinders when monitoring a return video using the HDFX100 and the HDTX100.
  • The skin gate signal is superimposed on the camera video signal. When tally becomes ON, the skin gate signal is forced to OFF.

Precautions

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let a laser beam become directed into the lens of the camera.

Do not subject to severe shocks

Damage to the case or internal components may result.

When finished using

Set the power switch to OFF.

Operation and storage environment

Store in a level place with air conditioning.

If the unit gets wet, make sure it is completely dry before storage.

Avoid use or storage in the following places:

• Extremely hot or cold places
- Places with high humidity
- Places with strong vibration
• Near strong magnetic fields
- In places where it receives much direct sunlight, or near heating equipment

Condensation

If you move the camera from a very cold place to a warm place, or use it in a damp location, condensation may form on the lens or inside the camera.

The camera has no built-in condensation indicator. If you find condensation on the body or lens, switch the camera off and wait for the condensation to disappear for about one hour.

Phenomena Specific to CCD Image Sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecks

Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays.

This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and is not a malfunction.

The white flecks especially tend to be seen

• when operating at a high environmental temperature
• when you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)

Setting the Electronic Shutter

This section explains the different modes which can be used for the electronic shutter, and gives the procedures for setting the shutter mode and shutter speed.

Note

When a camera control unit or a remote control device, such as MSU-900/950 and the RCP-700/900-series Remote Control Panel, is connected, the electronic shutter

is controlled from the external control device and control on the camera are disabled.

About the shutter modes

The shutter modes that can be used with the electronic shutter of the camera and the shutter speeds that may be selected are as follows:

Shutter modes and speeds

Shutter mode	Shutter speeds1)	Usage
Standard 1/100,	1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000 second	Use to obtain clear images of quickly moving subjects
ECS (Extended Clear Scan)	Continuously variable in the range of 60.0 Hz to 4300 Hz	Use to obtain images of computer monitors without horizontal striping

1) The values in the table are those with 60i/59.94i. With other formats, the available values may be different.

Note

With artificial lighting, particularly fluorescent lights and mercury vapor lamps, the brightness appears to be constant, but in fact the strength of the red, green, and blue components varies with the power supply frequency. This phenomenon is known as “flicker.” When using the electronic shutter under these lighting conditions, there are certain cases in which the flicker is more noticeable. In particular, color flicker is evident when the power frequency is 60 Hz. In areas where the power frequency is 50 Hz, setting the shutter speed to 1/100 second will reduce the flicker.

Selecting the shutter mode and speed

The shutter mode, and the shutter speed in standard mode, are set using the SHUTTER switch.

Setting the shutter mode, and shutter speed in standard mode

1 Push the SHUTTER switch from the ON position to the SEL position.

The current shutter setting will be displayed in the setting change/adjustment progress message display area of the viewfinder screen for about three seconds.

Example: "Shutter: 1/250"

2 Push the SHUTTER switch to the SEL position again before the display disappears. Repeat this action until the desired mode or speed is displayed.

When all modes and speeds are displayed, they will be displayed in the following order:

    A["Standard mode"] --> B["1/100"]
    B --> C["→"]
    C --> D["→"]

Setting the Camera Outputs

You can specify video signals directly output from the camera, with menu operations.

Note

The MAIN (camera picture), RET (return video), or VF (the same picture as that displayed on the viewfinder) setting is common to SD SDI and VBS. Different signals cannot be output.

The menu pages used for the output settings have been registered to the USER menu at the factory.

Outputting the same image as that on the viewfinder

• With HD SDI, you can obtain a signal that includes the same information as that being displayed on the viewfinder according to the settings of the VF MARKER, CHARACTER, VF DETAIL, ZEBRA, etc. The ON/OFF or other settings for adding information are common to those for the viewfinder. The output is synchronized with switching among Y, R, G, and B or switching to a return signal.
• With SD SDI or VBS, the output is synchronized only with switching between a return signal and the camera image. It does not correspond to switching among Y, R, G, and B. Information other than CHARACTER (such as VF MARKER, VF DETAIL, ZEBRA) cannot be added to the output.

Note

With the settings for outputting the same image as that on the viewfinder, the output will be obtained in 1080i, even if the format setting is 720P.

Using a “Memory Stick”

When a “Memory Stick” is inserted in the camera, the file data can be stored on the “Memory Stick,” which enables you to share data among cameras.

Inserting a "Memory Stick"

Insert a “Memory Stick” with the label side up into the “Memory Stick” slot until it clicks and the access lamp lights in red.

Access lamp

If the access lamp is lit or is flashing, data is being read from or written to the “Memory Stick.” At this time, do not shake the product or subject it to shock. Do not turn off the power of the product or remove the “Memory Stick.” This may damage the data.

What is "Memory Stick"?

“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for external data storage.

“Memory Stick” is available in two sizes: standard size and compact “Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to a “Memory Stick Duo” adapter, “Memory Stick Duo” turns to the same size as standard “Memory Stick” and thus can be used with products compliant with standard “Memory Stick”.

Types of "Memory Stick"

"Memory Stick" is available in the following types to meet various requirements in functions:

"Memory Stick-R"

Stored data are not overwritten. You can write data to "Memory Stick-R" with "Memory Stick-R" compatible products only. Copyright protected data that requires MagicGate copyright protection technology cannot be written to “Memory Stick-R.”

"Memory Stick"

Stores any type of data except copyright-protected data that requires the MagicGate copyright protection technology.

"MagicGate Memory Stick"

Equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology.

"Memory Stick-ROM"

Stores pre-recorded, read-only data. You cannot record on "Memory Stick-ROM" or erase the pre-recorded data.

"Memory Stick PRO"

"Memory Stick" with MagicGate copyright protection technology, exclusive for "Memory Stick PRO"-compliant products.

Usable types of "Memory Stick"

You can use a “Memory Stick,” a “MagicGate Memory Stick,” or a “Memory Stick PRO” with this product. However, the MagicGate copyright protection is not valid with this product.

Note

You cannot use a “Memory Stick Duo” without an appropriate adaptor.

Note on data read/write speed

Data read/write speed may vary depending on the combination of the “Memory Stick” and “Memory Stick” compliant product you use.

What is MagicGate?

MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses encryption technology.

About a "Memory Stick"

- When you set the “Memory Stick” erasure prevention switch to “LOCK,” data cannot be recorded, edited, or erased.

• Data may be damaged if:
—You remove the “Memory Stick” or turn off the unit while it is reading or writing data.
—You use the “Memory Stick” in a location subject to the effects of static electricity or electric noise.
- We recommend that you make a backup copy of important data that you record on the “Memory Stick”.

Notes
